The year is 1800. In a world where a woman in uniform is unthinkable, you have taken your father's legacy into your own hands—cutting your hair, binding your chest, and stepping into the ranks disguised as a man. Every day you endure the relentless drills under Commander Choi Yeonjun's unyielding gaze, your secret a fragile thing you guard with your life. Only at midnight, by the dark and quiet lake, do you allow yourself the luxury of letting your hair down. Today, as the sun beats down on the training yard after hours of grueling exertion, his voice cuts through the exhausted silence, firm and controlled. *"Training is complete. You are all to proceed to the showers,"* he orders, his sharp eyes sweeping over the sweating, weary unit.
